Dogs sometimes do they can be lonely sometimes and need someone to look after. You can actually find dogs and many other animals that look after young, even from a different species. Like this Tiger that is a mother to these piglets: http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=Tiger+and+piglets&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=Tiger+and+piglet This case is rather sad yet cute so please read this link about a dog that took-in these kittens, who's mother died in china: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_3081071.html Hope I helped!

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:45:38 +0000 #comment-2871 I find it odd that the mother cat is just letting your dog do it. Most wouldn't let a dog within a mile of their kittens. Your dog is just mothering them. The only thing I'd worry about is that if the cats are stray they won't have been wormed, so there is a chance your dog could pick up worms from them. If the cat is just letting you dog do all this, she's hardly being the protective mother she ought to be and I'd be worried about her rejecting them. Is she feeding them? If not, I think you'd better get in the animal services. I find it odd that the mother cat is just letting your dog do it. Most wouldn’t let a dog within a mile of their kittens.

I don’t know why,
but it’s not really that "abnormal"
